By employing the electrospinning technique and subsequent carbonization processes, porous carbon/nickle (C/Ni) composite nanofibers with diameters of 100-200 nm were successfully prepared. Two polymer solutions of polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and Ni (CH3COOH)2(Ni (OAc)2) were used as C/Ni composite nanofiber precursors. The study revealed that C/Ni composite nanofibers were successfully prepared and nickle particles with diameters of 20-70 nm were uniformly scattered in the carbon nanofibers. It was also observed that the fiber with clear fibrous morphology with particles broke into shorter fibers after sinter. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that these particles crystallized with the face centered cubic (FCC) structure. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis indicated that C/Ni composites nanofibers with meso-pores possessed larger specific surface area than that of carbon nanofibers.

Two polymer solutions of polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and Ni(CH3COOH)2 in dimethylformamide were electrospun into ternary composite nanofibers, followed by stabilization and carbonization processes to obtain porous carbon/nickel composite nanofibers with diameters of 100–200 nm. The study revealed that carbon/nickel composite nanofibers were successfully prepared, which allowed nickel particles with diameters of 20–70 nm to be uniformly distributed in the carbon nanofibers. It was also observed that the fibrous structures with particles embedded formed and the fibers broke into shorter fibers after sintering. X-ray diffraction indicated that embedded particles crystallized with the face centered cubic structure. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis revealed that carbon/nickel composite nanofibers with meso-pores possessed larger specific surface area than that of carbon nanofibers. The specific capacitance of the composite nanofiber electrode was as high as 103.8 F/g and showed stable cyclicity (73.8%).

Porous carbon/cobalt (C/Co) composite nanofibers with diameters of 200–300 nm were prepared by electrospinning and subsequent carbonization processes. Two polymer solutions of polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and Co (CH3COOH) 2 (Co (OAc) 2) were used as C/Co composite nanofiber precursors. The study revealed that C/Co composite nanofibers were successfully prepared and cobalt particles with diameters of 20–30 nm were uniformly scattered in the carbon nanofibers. It was also observed that clear fibrous morphology with grainlike particles and good structural integrity were still maintained after calcination. The TGA analysis indicated the improved thermal stability properties of the composite nanofibers. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis indicated that C/Co composites nanofibers with meso-pores possessed larger specific surface area than that of carbon nanofibers.

Highly ordered Cu, Ag and Au nanowire arrays with high aspect ratio and highly dense self-supporting nanowire patterns of copper group were successfully prepared using cyclic voltammetry with the assistance of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the metal nanowries were indexed to the face-centered cubic structure. The field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) results demonstrated that the length of nanowire could be controlled by changing the electrodepositon conditions. The aspect ratio of nanowire arrays can be tuned.

The artificial layering of metals can change both physical and structural characteristics from the bulk. The stabilization of polymorphic metallic phases can occur on a dimensional scale that ranges from single overgrowth layers to repetitive layering at the nanoscale. The sputter deposition of crystalline titanium on nickel, as both a single layer and in multilayer form, has produced a face-centered cubic phase of titanium. The atomic structure of the face-centered cubic titanium phase is examined using high resolution electron microscopy in combination with electron and x-ray diffraction.

Multilayer SiO2 crystals modified by alkoxysilanes were fabricated by the vertical deposition technique combined with self-assembly method. The SiO2 colloidal crystallization was prepared by the traditional Stöber-Fink-Bohn method, and modified by different alkoxysilanes to investigate the properties of the films. The films fabricated by the ordering of SiO2 spheres were investigated by infrared spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, UV-visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that thin film is the face-centered cubic structures and the spheres are [111]-oriented.

ABSTRACTThin Co and Co based alloy films with the face centered cubic (FCC) structure have been epitaxially grown on single crystal Si wafers by sputter deposition. Epitaxial orientation relationships have been determined by x-ray diffraction, x-ray pole figure scans and TEM. Magnetic properties have been characterized using vibrating sampling magnetometer (VSM), torque magnetometer and BH loop tracer. Soft magnetic properties have been observed for the pure Co films.

Abstract The T phase in the Mn–Ni–Zn system was obtained as a product of high-temperature solid-state syntheses from the loaded composition of MnxNi2−xZn11 (x = 0.2–1.5)/MnxNi15.38−xZn84.62 (x = 1.54–11.54). The crystal structure of the T phase has been explored by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The structures were solved in the face-centered cubic space group F 4 ‾ 3 m $F‾{4}3m$ (216) and contain 409–410 atoms/unit cell. The lattice constants were found to be a = 18.1727(2) and 18.1954(1) Å for crystals C1 and C2, respectively. The crystal structure denoted the T phase is a (2aγ)3-superstructure of the ordinary cubic γ-brass-type phase. The phase is isostructural to (Fe, Ni)Zn6.5. A “cluster” description has been used to visualize the crystal structure of the title phase. The structures have been constructed by the five distinct clusters and they are situated about the high symmetry sites of the face-centered cubic lattice. The T phase is stabilized at a valance electron concentration of 1.78, which is slightly higher than those expected for typical γ-brass Hume‐Rothery compounds.

In 1916 a group of Russian chemists—Kurnakov and his colleagues—discovered that slowly cooled CuxAu1 − xmetal alloys had anomalously low electrical resistivities at simple compositions of CuAu and Cu3Au. Nine years later in 1925, Swedish physicists Johansson and Linde found by x-ray-diffraction experiments that the alloys had ordered structures on the face-centered-cubic lattice, now called CuAu I-type and AuCu3-type. Two years later, Johansson and Linde discovered CuPt-type ordering in Cu0.5Pt0.5 alloy by noticing a similar anomaly in their electrical-resistivity measurements for CuxPt1 − x. These were among the events at the dawn of physical metallurgy and study on order-disorder transformations. Many years later in 1985, the first observation of ordering in semiconductor alloys was made in AlGaAs grown on GaAs(110); the type was CuAu I. CuPt-type ordering was observed in SiGe grown on Si(001). Since the (110) orientation of the substrate for AlGaAs was clumsy for practical purposes and the degree of ordering in SiGe was extremely low, these phenomena seemed to have little relevance in practical applications. Other observations were made such as famatinite-type ordering in GalnAs and chalcopyrite-type ordering in GaAsSb. These observations however were quite rare, with only isolated cases reported.

Abstract Poly(phenylene vinylene)/polyvinyl alcohol/Ag (PPV/PVA/Ag) composite nanofibers with excellent photoelectric properties were prepared by coaxial electrospinning using PPV/PVA as the shell and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) as the core, Ag NPs aqueous solution was prepared by the reduction method. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that Ag NPs are of a face-centered cubic structure, with an average diameter of 46 nm and the composite nanofibers have uniform and continuous morphology. With increasing Ag content, the diameters of the composite nanofibers decreased from 653 nm to 250 nm. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns verified that in the composite nanofibers, the Ag NPs are not transformed. In the photoluminescence spectra, the PPV/PVA/Ag composite nanofibers presented red-shift compared with PPV/PVA nanofibers. Under illumination, the as-prepared PPV/PVA/Ag composite nanofibers exhibited relatively high photocurrent intensity.

Single crystals of a new multinary chromium carbide, La21Cr8−2aAlbGe7−bC12(henicosalanthanum octachromium aluminium hexagermanium dodecacarbide), were grown from an La-rich self flux and were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The face-centered cubic crystal structure is composed of isolated and geometrically frustrated regular Cr tetrahedra that are co-centered within regular C octahedra. These mutually separated Cr4−aC6clusters are distributed throughout a three-dimensional framework of Al, Ge, and La. The title compound is isotypic with La21−δMn8X7C12andR21Fe8X7C12(R= La, Ce, Pr;X= Al, Bi, Ge, Sn, Sb, Te) and represents the first example of a Cr-based compound with this structure-type.
